Scope for 500-600 yards on elk?

[dk17hmr]

Are you hunting open country or timber?

I hunt wide open desert and timber mountains. The Vortex LRT 4.5-22x has been great. I have also used a straight 10x in both terrains with success.

I had a SWFA 3-15 and was not overly impressed. Took it off and replaced it with a Sightron.

Sightrons are a great Japan scope value.

Nightforce NXS 5.5x22 . Pick your reticle.

I have a like-new Nikon Monarch FFP 3-12x42 for sale. My Dad bought it for an elk hunt that never materialized (out-of-state permit woes). Originally paired with a M70 Extreme Weather Stainless in .270 WSM (also for sale). This is a unique scope in that the reticle sub-tension dots are all calibrated for the 300 Win Mag, what Nikon called the Long Range Hunting reticle (200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards). The .270 WSM is a lighter bullet but the same trajectory as the 300 Win Mag. Message me if interested.

I bought a Leupold VX-Freedom 4-12x50mm 1" tube here last fall. It's a gold ring scope, so it has a lifetime warranty. It is currently sitting on my Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 .264 Win Mag.

I have an X-bolt in 300Win. Mag but need optics that will help further out.

Check out Arken Optics. Made in Texas, lifetime warranty and phenomenal glass.

That’s interesting… the (7) that I have all say “ made in China” on the scope body.
Decent scopes though.
